      Tbh at least this one makes sense, who is going to use a VPN (an internet privacy tool) from Google?

        when traveling Communist countries in Asia with google fi it was really nice to have

        but then they revoked my data service while charging me the same amount every month, because they said I’m traveling too much.

        Yeah right? I have a VPN to prevent Google (amongst many others) from having too much of my data.

          Other than source IP address, I don’t see how does that prevent Google from having your data.

      Whenever Google launches a product or service wait at least 5 years before even trying it to see if they’re serious, got it

        It’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy at that point. Like Netflix with new shows.

        Netflix: here’s this new show

        People: yeah you guys always cancel stuff after the first season or two, I’m not gonna get invested in something that will just get canceled

        Netflix: man, these viewership numbers are low. CANCELED!
